Our Review
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015) is a comedy series from Netflix. It has built a run of 51 episodes. It premiered on March 6, 2015. Viewers rate it 7.5 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 4 seasons.
What Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Is About
When a woman is rescued from a doomsday cult and lands in New York City, she must navigate a world she didn’t think even existed anymore.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 51 episodes, spread across 4 seasons and it leans into its comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess and Carol Kane to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess, Carol Kane, Jane Krakowski, Sara Chase and Sol Miranda lead the cast.
Key roles include Ellie Kemper as Kimmy Schmidt; Tituss Burgess as Titus Andromedon; Carol Kane as Lillian Kaushtupper; Jane Krakowski as Jacqueline Voorhees; Sara Chase as Cyndee Pokorny.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 7.5/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2015 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy viewers.
How Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Compares
If Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Ellie Kemper and Tituss Burgess doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy roots, It has held up since 2015 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy lane, at 51 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.5/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.5/10. Watch it if you want comedy you can settle into.
